We are thrilled that Sir SImon Keenlyside has agreed to step in to close the Leeds Lieder Festival. Tickets previously purchased will be valid for this recital. Details below:

One of the world’s great Lieder interpreters makes his long awaited Leeds Lieder debut, in of the greatest challenges in the genre. ‘Wielding a voice of seemingly infinite colour and the talents of a seasoned actor,’ wrote the Cleveland Plain Dealer recently, ‘the British singer held Reinberger Chamber Hall in the palm of his hand for 75 whole minutes with the tale of a dejected lover on the brink of self-destruction’. He is joined by Leeds Lieder Director, Joseph Middleton, recently described by Klassik Heute as ‘one of the best piano accompanists of our time.’
